Nowadays no LAN administrator can allow himself to administer his LAN without basic protocol knowledge. The tools available for it are known and partly for free. Using aprotocolanalyzeris a standard in LAN and WAN enviroments. Theprotocolknowledge isthebasisfor the designandoperationof networks.

In the SAN it should be the same. However, the reality looks different. The SAN cloud seems to be untransparent. No administrator is aware how the data are transported by the SAN or how config changes affect the protocol level.

Why MEN@NET?

We are neither a classical training company nor a manufacturer-oriented system integrator. As an independent service provider we depend on the tools and know-how with which we ourselves can solve problems with end customers. Our knowledge is based on many years' practise in the protocol analysis of networks. If we are called, system integrator or manufacturer do not know how to solve a problem. Benefit from our possibilities and our experience.

More than 10 years experience in the area of the protocol analysis

Throughout Europe unique equipment with analysis devices

Advicefrom numerous performance measurementsandtroubleshooting trips

Cross-productknow-howinthe areas of reportingandSLAdefinition

Training: Fibre Channel Basics

The goal ofthe basic trainingis to provide theparticipantswith a basicunderstanding of thearchitecture and processesof the Fibre Channelprotocol.With this understanding,it ispossible for him tounderstand and evaluateprocesses withinthe SAN and to avoiddesign mistakesandto analyzeand evaluate anomalies.

Dates:

12.06. - 14.06.2018 in Lübeck

Training: Fibre Channel Troubleshooting

The goal of the troubleshootingtraining is toenable theparticipants torecognizeand correct faultsin the SANquickly.The focus here isthelow-leveldebuggingin the Fibre Channelprotocolwith aprotocol analyzer.In the course ofextensivelabsessionsisindividuallyaddressed the issuesandneedsof the participantsto deepentheirunderstandingof protocol errorsandtheconsequencesassociated with thisin the fabric.

This workshop is designed as an extension seminar. VMware/ESX communication mechanisms in Fibre Channel environments are considered and analyzed in detail by various LAB sessions. Among other statements from previous MEN@NET trainings to Queue Depth settings and effects of high latency in virtualized environments are assigned based on vendor-independent monitoring facility.
